Oh Thor

Thor followed like a large puppy after his brother who was leading him down a hallway to the Armory. thor was a little surprised "Loki...? How do you know where the Armory is?". Loki looked behind him at the other "I know because I've watched you go there plenty on times..". 

Thor just shrugged and they reached the door. Once inside it was difficult to find a sword Loki's size and weight or a helmet that would fit his smaller head. At last Loki gave up "I.... Fine I'll just, use this." He grabbed a staff from the wall mad at the lack of him-ready equiptment. Thor was looking at a shelf of helmets "I can't find... one..". Loki turned on his heel for the door "I'll just go without. Let's tell father I am ready.".

Thor followed again and halfway down the hall he grabbed his siblings hand to stop him "Loki...You'll be safe won't you?". Loki turned his head curiously "Yes... Why is my Great Brother Thor worried for my saftey?". The tall blond blushed and nodded a bit and Loki awkwardly decided to favor his brother with a hug. Once his arm's were around and he was on his tip toes to reach Thor hugged back. He was stronger and so it hurt a bit and Loki just winced. Thor smiled and lifted his raven haired other up. Loki squirmed but couldn't free himself "Thor! Put me down!". Thor laughed and it was loud and rung around the room. He gently then held Loki and said "I love you Loki, be safe.". 

Loki was surprised my these words and his mind suddenly became a mess of thoughts. He was at last eye to eye with Thor even if he was being held. The innocent blue eyes seemed searching the sneaky green ones and for once Loki did not mind looking someone in the eyes. He was madly thinking 'He loves me? As...... How? How does he love me? The way I do him? Do I love him? He didn't call be brother he called me Loki...... What did he mean.. I... I'll..' His mind stopped working and his feelings took over.

They were not mean or spiteful, nor were they angry. They were confused and suddenly overpowering and he without even a thought kissed his brother. Their lips met and it was not a passionate tongue sort of affair. It was just lips touching for two seconds and then Thor pulled back. He put Loki down looking at him "Why did you do that?". Loki felt horrible inside all of a sudden. 

That was not the reaction he wanted from Thor, perhaps he would have even pushed his lips back but not putting him down and backing up like he carried a horrid illness. There was a wettness in Loki's eyes and he wished it would go away before it spilled over "N... No reason. I just did... Thor f.. forget it I....... You should go back I'll see father.". 

Thor was still a little shocked and Loki turned running away. He headed for the hall the wettness spilling down his cheeks. He tried to wipe it away with an arm not wishing it to be there. He wanted to know why he hurt so much inside. He met the door off the hall took a deep breath made sure his tears were gone and entered. His Father smiled suddenly stopping a conversation with his Mother and looked to him "Ah, Loki. Are you ready?". 

Loki nodded and his Father stood walking forward "You... Have a staff as a weapon? Why not a mighty sword.. And armor? A helm?". Loki looked down "None of it fits me, the sword was too heavy the helmet to large.". Odin frowned then looked to his wife "Do... We not have one recently made just for this occassion?". She smiles and nods "We did indeed." she produces from under the table a helmet just Loki's size. It was silver and had what seemed to be horns. Loki grinned wide "For me really?!" He ran forward took it from her and placed it on his head. It fit and he looked at himself in one of the great mirrors "Oh I DO look grand!". He turned his head looking from all angles "Heh, Mother so you see me?". She nods "Yes Loki I do.." He looked at his father "Was this your idea?!". 

Loki wanted with all his heart for Odin to say 'Yes' but when the answer came it was "Your Mother said it would be a good idea for your own special helm.". Loki lost his smile for a moment then it was back lying again "Oh... Well thank you Mother!" Loki hugged his Mother. 

His father looked at Loki "So let us head out..". Loki nodded and father and son went to the door to head out to start the hunt. Loki passed thor and did not look at him, feeling unhappy suddenly. Thor saw Loki's helmet "Loki I like that Helmet.". Loki left without even a blink in his direction.
